Just watched someone nerf the back of the Z while it's parked on the side of the road outside of my house. Needless to say they drove off. Reg plate, I thought, was B2 WAN, but that's coming up as a merc and I thought it was a silver mitsu. Only doubt I had was over the 'A'. Pretty sure I recognise the number plate and car as being very local, as in a street or two away. It's not done a lot (didn't even set the alarm off) but has marked the bumper and added a tiny slice to the plastic.

Gonna have a walk later and knock on the door I think, give 'em the chance before reporting it? Wouldn't have been massively bothered but for the fact they've broken the law and blatantly saw me standing at the upstairs window pointing.

Saw some girl reverse out of a space into a car opposite hers because she had the music too loud and the screen was misted up. Police are prosecuting her now and I've given a statement and have agreed to go to court. All because I reported it so someone may have seen it happen and may have a sense of duty.

Take lots of pics. Where you car is on the road, pics from near and far away. Also take lots of pics of the damage, no matter how minor.

Update - found the car (on the school run), no answer at apartment building where it lives (hiding or bell broken I dunno). I had a good look round his car for 5 minutes to give him chance to come out. Have left a fairly comprehensive note asking him to get in touch before I talk to the police. A helpful old gent parking opposite even told me which number he is at.

Reg was B2 MWN.

The marks on the bumper are quite bad in daylight so definitely think reparation is in order. The car is going in the bodyshop in Feb for some other stuff anyway, but a contribution I think is in order?

All sorted fairly amicably. He called today and then came round this evening, we agreed a figure of £150 and off he popped. He wasn't exactly falling over himself being apologetic but I don't really care.
